New Align T-Rex 800E 08Aug12

There is finally some more information on Align’s new T-Rex 800E Trekker helicopter. It is obviously larger than the 700E and is essentially the same size as the Mikado Logo XXtreme 800. Except for the size the T-Rex 800E looks rather conventional. One unique feature is that it allows for a tail boom battery mount to allow camera equipment to be carried in the main frames. It looks like the heli is designed to run on 24S (4x6S 3300mAh packs) or perhaps 12S in parallel? No price or release date details yet but it will certainly be cheaper than the Mikado.
